    Make a formula that uses cell to pull data from sheet name that is same as cell.

    Hello All,

    I was wondering if it is at all possible to make a formula that references a cell to get a sheet name, then use that cell to reference a page?

    Example

    A12 = 1
    A13 = 2

    Pages in workbook

    '1' & '2'

    Can I make a cell that says ='A12'!D4*12? how would I go about this?

    The next cell in the column would do ='A13'!D4*12

    How would I go about this?

    hi Dagoom. not sure if you meant it as to go to the Worksheet named "1" & take the value from D4, multiplied by 12? say if you were to reference it manually, would it look like this?
    ='1'!D4*12

    if that's the case, then:
    =INDIRECT("'"&A12&"'!D4")*12

    Thanks, if you have clicked on the * and added our rep.

    Yes!

    That is exactly what I wanted!

    Now if only I knew how to make a formula for a column that ignored all values other than just the indirect A12.

    Thanks a bunch, you have put me well on my way!
